<hr />
<div>A '''clipboard manager''' is a [[computer program]] that adds functionality to basic [[Clipboard (software)|clipboard]] usage. The main tasks of a<br />
clipboard manager are:<br />
* to store data [[copy and paste|copied]] to clipboard, so it can be [[copy and paste|pasted]] after closing the host application of the data copied, and <br />
* to make multiple clips from the history available, whereas most system-native clipboards overwrite one clip with the next.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Copy history==<br />
Some clipboard managers allow the user to keep multiple objects, usually text fragments, in the clipboard. Often this is done in the form of copy history. Without a clipboard manager, it is usually possible to keep only one entry in the clipboard. If another object is cut or copied the previously stored one is discarded.<br />
<br />
Some applications have an internal ''copy history feature''. This internal copy history, though, is lost after the host application is closed. This copy history feature has been a standard feature in powerful [[Unix|UNIX]] editors like [[vi]] and [[emacs]]. Later versions of [[Microsoft Office]] have also included some built-in clipboard management, the "Office Clipboard" which remains open as long as one of the Office suite applications is open.<br />
<br />
==Clipboard managers in different systems==<br />
The default clipboard manager of [[Microsoft Windows]] operating system enables pasting after closing the host application of the copied data (usually), but doesn't have the copy history feature. Users needing this functionality often run a more powerful clipboard manager in parallel with the default one. Third party clipboard managers for Microsoft Windows enhance the clipboard with multiple snippets, secure storage and full-text search.<br />
<br />
[[Mac OS X]] also has a whole host of third party options for clipboard managers. One example is ClipMenu. Third party clipboard managers for Mac OS X use mac concepts such as the [[Dock (Mac OS X)|Dock]] or [[Dashboard (software)|Dashboard]] to fit nicely into the operating system.<br />
<br />
The [[freedesktop.org]] Clipboard Manager specification <ref>[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/clipboard-manager-spec?action=show&redirect=Standards%2Fclipboard-manager-spec freedesktop.org Clipboard Manager specification]</ref> describes a protocol layered on top of the [[ICCCM]] clipboard spec for client applications to direct a daemon process to save clipboard contents. The client-side specification has native support in a number of toolkits, including [[GTK+]]<ref>[http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-Clipboards.html#gtk-clipboard-set-can-store GtkClipboard], GTK+ Reference Manual, GNOME Documentation Library</ref>; it of course requires a daemon clipboard manager to be running in the user's X session.<br />
<br />
The UNIX desktop environment [[KDE]] ships with [[Klipper]]. [[GNOME]] contains basic clipboard manager functionality in gnome-settings-daemon, part of gnome-control-center; it preserves clipboard contents on application close, supporting the freedesktop.org Clipboard Manager Specification. It is also possible to run more complex clipboard managers in GNOME, such as Klipper, [[Glipper]] or Java based ACM.<br />
<br />
Some clipboard managers allow the user to selectively save only desired items rather than collecting every item that passes through the Windows clipboard.<br />
